Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel. When you mix two complementary colors you get brown. If you are painting a shadow you use the complement of the color the shadow falls on.
The use of complementary colors is very bad for text because they are opposite. The contrast makes the text difficult to read.
Take one set of complementary colors; say blue and orange. For a single split-complementary you would use orange and the two colors adjacent to blue, but not blue (green-blue and violet-blue). To make a double split-complementary use the four colors adjacent to the original complementary pair. The colors you would use are green-blue, violet-blue, yellow-orange, and red-orange. THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS A TETRADIC COLOR SCHEME WHICH USES TWO SETS OF COMPLEMENTARY COLORS.
Most artists only buy the primary colors and make all other colors from them
I find it interesting that complementary colors don't always look pleasing together, and a fashion-oriented person would probably not pick complementary colors for clothing. However, I believe the most effective use of complementary colors is to add interest to a painting, and usually to a particular part of the painting. When complementary colors are placed next to each other it creates a point of interest in the viewer's eye; the clever painter can take advantage of this phenomenon and "guide" the viewer simply by creative use of complementary colors on the painting.
all complementary colors are directly across from each other. Example: Purple---- Yellow or Blue--- Orange
Complementary colours are the colours that are opposite each other on the colour wheel.
